Power of attorney & Co. What do I really need?
Location: Pro Seniore Residenz Chemnitz
Admission: free
It can happen to anyone that they are suddenly no longer able to manage and decide their own affairs due to illness or an accident. Very few people think in good time about who can make important decisions for them in this case. What medical interventions and treatments should be carried out if I am no longer responsive? How can I ensure that my interests can be represented by a trusted person? What does my legal representative need in order to be able to act? What are the differences between a health care proxy, care directive and living will - the lecture will help you answer these questions.
Wednesday, 13 February, 6.45 to 9 p.m.

The content includes the structured preparation of learning material and "packaging" it in brain-friendly learning strategies. In addition to curiosity and a good mood, please bring coloured pencils and a fineliner in black or blue.

vhs.Sprachentreff - English and Italian
Location: TIETZ, Coffee Art Bar
Admission: free
The vhs.Sprachentreff is a special way of learning and practising languages in a lively way. Take the opportunity to test how well you can already speak. The ice is quickly broken in a cheerful atmosphere. Forget about grammar gaps and just let the words flow. Your conversation partners are just like you. They all love languages, learn languages and want to speak. Every vhs.Sprachentreff has a language of specialisation in addition to English. There are - often native speakers - moderators on site. On this evening, they don't take on the role of teachers, but provide impulses and stimulate your conversations.
